three zero

So folks, I'm a little over a month away from my 30th birthday and I'm currently contemplating what the heck it is that I want to do for the big day. I've had several close friends ask me if I want a party, an all night dance-a-thon, or maybe even a little getaway trip. And while I would find it hard to turn down a penthouse suite if it landed in my lap (alongside the winning ticket for today's $1.4 billion PowerBall lottery), I would much rather find myself at an intimate, cozy dinner with my nearest and dearest friends, a small enough group where no one has to yell to be heard and where I can easily make eye contact with everyone at the table. Oh, and some AMAZING food, wouldn't hurt either. This is where I need your help, New Yorkers, do you have any restaurant recs for me? Right now, I'm working off this list, but I'm open to suggestions!

I turned 30 in 2001. I had a dinner out with a few close friends and it was great. Although, you might want to do the all-night dance party because on your 40th, your hips and knees will not forgive you. So maybe save the quiet dinner out for 2026. x

I was fortunate enough to head to St. Tropez for my 30th birthday with a small group of friends. It was AMAZING and I highly recommend a mini getaway that you'll never forget. You only turn 30 once hope you make a splash xx!

Spent my 30th with 6 close friends @ Brooklyn Bowl! It was a whole lot of fun, nothing high-brow. Great food, whiskey, beer, bowling, live music AND a DJ at midnight that involved a dance contest. My friends, of course, made me enter... it was old-school in which they tacked numbers on your back and you went to town. I made an ass out of myself and had a freaking blast. Before Brooklyn Bowl, oysters & drinks @ Maison Premiere. I recommend both places! Hope that you have a most fabulous 30th! Love those heels, btw.
